Charity Kit: Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep

I wanted to make sure to point out this charity kit that is now available at theStudio. It's called The Cow Jumped Over the Moon and all proceeds will go to Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. This particular charity is absolutely incredible. For most, a new baby means joy and excitement, but there are times when families aren't as lucky and the life of their new baby just isn't meant to last. NILMDTS gifts these families who have just faced incredible loss with remembrance photography. I am proud to be one of the designers at theStudio who came together to create this adorable lullaby themed kit for you to use to scrap all the photos of your children. This kit is filled with happiness and joy, bright colors and childish fun! At only $3.50 it's a bargain and 100% of the proceeds will go to the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep organization.

Disclaimer - the images on the NILMDTS Website are hard to look at, the babies featured in these photos lost their lives at a very early age...be prepared to cry.

Child's Journal: Super Easy Hybrid Project

Hybrid is getting out there more and more, I'm even starting to do more with it now that my printer is working! Today I wanted to share the world's easiest hybrid project with you: Child's Journal.

Supplies Needed: 

From Apple to Zebra Writing Practice
Printer
Paper Cutter (or scissors)
Child
Markers/Crayons

Step 1: Print a few copies of the "NS_AtoZ_WP_Story_Landscape" file
Step 2: Cut in half (5 1/2 inches) 
Step 3: Give 1 sheet to the child, along with markers/crayons and ask them to write (or draw) something they did that day. You can adjust this for any age. My son is 5 and we're working on lowercase letters so he tells me what he wants to write, and I write it out, using lowercase letters when he knows them. He copies it onto his journal page and draws a matching picture. Younger kids could draw a picture and mom/dad could fill in the journaling...etc) 
Step 4: Be sure to add the date! (My son is also practicing numbers, so I let him do this too) 
Step 5: File the page away! Do this daily or weekly and end up with a fantastic memento of your child's life from their point of view! 


My son Adam and I have been doing journal pages daily since the second week of January. By now he is just as excited to do them as I am. It's a great way for me to help him practice his writing and creativity. It's also a great activity for him to work on while I am cleaning or prepping dinner. Here are some of his pages. 

 

 

I'd love to see what your kids create, if you decide to try a super easy hybrid Child's Journal!

Pop Monkey

Did I tell you that my husband and I picked out the nursery theme for baby? It's the cutest little monkey set. I am so in love with the colors and theme, that I decided to make a kit that matches. I've called it Pop Monkey and here it is!

So cute, right? Well, I loved the colors so much that I went on to make some worn papers and a quick page set so if you love it as much as I do, I suggest the bundle deal

And, to entice you even more the bundle comes with a bonus cluster frame - this frame won't be available anywhere else, so if you like it, you'll have to buy the bundle! (The quick page set also comes with a bonus word art - the word are is available with the QPs and the bundle) 

Check out a few layouts by the Skribblers (more here)

 

And, here is a freebie for you a few clusters using Pop Monkey (Hurry, the links won't be available forever)!
